Lianas, tree ferns and understory species: indicators of conservation status in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest remnants, southeastern Brazil

Abstract: Indicators are applied faster and at lower costs than conventional surveys, providing quick and efficient responses that can facilitate protected areas management. Our aim was to select indicators from vegetation to monitor protected areas. For this purpose, we analyzed understory and quantified lianas and tree ferns in protected and non-protected areas, in order to find indicator species. Our study areas are located in Vale do Ribeira, southeastern São Paulo state, Brazil. One of the areas is under two protec… Show more

“…This fact evidenced the great conservation and succession degree in this site. Tree ferns can be used as indicators of vegetation conservation (Castello et al, 2017) and successional stages of forests (Schmitt and Windisch, 2012).…”

“…In the age of Anthropocene, human impacts have significantly changed the whole biosphere and are threatening ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide [54]. The distribution, diversity, and dynamics of fern assemblages are profoundly affected by human disturbances [8,12,15,[55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. Disturbances might modify the external conditions and interspecific interactions to lead to changes in the fern assemblages [15,66].…”

“…Assim, a análise de sua vegetação é uma importante maneira de avaliar o status de conservação de um ecossistema terrestre (SICHE et al, 2007;CASTELLO;COELHO;CARDOSO-LEITE, 2017), pois os componentes da comunidade vegetal apresentam respostas às variações ambientais por se tratarem de organismos pouco tolerantes às alterações causadas pela degradação (BOSCOLO et al, 2017). Dessa forma, diversos autores (SICHE et al, 2007; CASTELLO; COELHO; CARDOSO-LEITE, 2017; GRACIANO-SILVA; MELLO; CARDOSO-LEITE, 2018) utilizam componentes da vegetação para planejar e estimar indicadores de estado de conservação em áreas protegidas.…”
